functions for protection of overhead lines
and cables at all voltage levels from 5 to
765 kV.
All methods of neutral point connection
(resonant grounding, isolated, solid or
low-resistance grounding) are reliably
dealt with. The unit can issue single or
three-pole TRIP commands as well as
CLOSE commands. Consequently both
single-pole, three-pole and multiple autoreclosure is possible.
Teleprotection functions as well as
ground-fault protection and sensitive
ground-fault detection are included.
Power swings are detected reliably and
non-selective tripping is prevented. The
unit operates reliably and selectively

Distance protection (ANSI 21, 21N)

The main function of the 7SA6 is a nonswitched distance protection. By parallel
calculation and monitoring of all six
impedance loops, a high degree of
sensitivity and selectivity is achieved
for all types of fault. The shortest
tripping time is less than one cycle. All
methods of neutral-point connection
(resonant grounding, isolated, solid or
low-resistance grounding) are reliably
dealt with. Single-pole and three-pole
tripping is possible. Overhead lines can be
equipped with or without series capacitor
compensation.
Four pickup methods

The following pickup methods can be
employed alternatively:

Impedance pickup Z<

Load zone
The pickup mode with quadrilateral
impedance pickup (Z<) is tted with a
variable load zone. In order to guarantee
a reliable discrimination between load
operation and short-circuit (especially
on long high loaded lines), the relay is
equipped with a selectable load encroachment characteristic. Impedances within
this load encroachment characteristic prevent the distance zones from unwanted
tripping.
Fig. 6/10
Absolute phase-selectivity
The 7SA6 distance protection incorporates a well-proven, highly sophisticated
phase selection algorithm. The pickup of
unfaulted phases is reliably eliminated.
This phase selection algorithm achieves
single-pole tripping and correct distance
measurement in a wide application range.
Interference to distance measurement
caused by parallel lines can be compensated by taking the ground current of the
parallel system into account.
This parallel line compensation can be
taken into account both for distance
measurement and for fault locating.

LSP2209-afp.tif
Seven distance zones

Six independant distance zones and one
separate overreach zone are available.
Each distance zone has dedicated time
stages, partially separate for single-phase
and three-phase faults. Ground faults
are detected by monitoring the ground
current 3I0 and the zero-sequence voltage
3V0. The quadrilateral tripping characteristic allows use of separate settings
for the X and the R directions. Different
R settings can be employed for ground
and phase faults. This characteristic
offers advantages in the case of faults
with fault resistance. For applications
to medium-voltage cables with low line
angles, it may be advantageous to select
the distance zones with the optional circle
characteristic.
All the distance protection zones can be
set to forward, reverse or non-directional.

Power swing current and voltage wave forms
Optimum direction detection

Use of voltages, which are not involved with the short-circuit
loop, and of voltage memories for determination of the fault
direction ensure that the results are always reliable.
Tele (pilot) protection for distance protection (ANSI 85-21)
Elimination of interference signals

Digital lters render the unit immune to interference signals
contained in the measured values. In particular, the inuence of
DC components, capacitive voltage transformers and frequency
changes is considerably reduced. A special measuring method is
employed in order to assure protection selectivity during saturation of the current transformers.
POTT
Measuring voltage monitoring

Tripping of the distance protection is blocked automatically in
the event of failure of the measuring voltage, thus preventing
spurious tripping.
The measuring voltage is monitored by the integrated fuse failure monitor. Distance protection is blocked if either the fuse failure monitor or the auxiliary contact of the voltage transformer
protection switch operates and in this case the EMERGENCY
denite-time overcurrent protection can be activated.
Pilot-wire comparison
Fault locator
The integrated fault locator calculates the fault impedance
and the distance-to-fault. The results are displayed in ohms,
kilometers (miles) and in percent of the line length. Parallel
line compensation and load current compensation for highresistance faults is also available.
Power swing detection (ANSI 68, 68T)
Dynamic transient reactions, for instance short-circuits, load
uctuations, auto-reclosures or switching operations can cause
power swings in the transmission network. During power
swings, large currents along with small voltages can cause
unwanted tripping of distance protection relays. To avoid
uncontrolled tripping of the distance protection and to achieve
controlled tripping in the event of loss of synchronism, the
7SA6 relay is equipped with an efcient power swing detection
function. Power swings can be detected under symmetrical load
conditions as well as during single-pole auto-reclosures.
A teleprotection function is available for fast clearance of faults

up to 100 % of the line length. The following operating modes
may be selected:
Directional comparison pickup

Unblocking
PUTT acceleration with pickup
PUTT acceleration with Z1B
Blocking
Reverse interlocking
DUTT, direct underreaching zone transfer trip (together with

Direct Transfer Trip function).
The carrier send and receive signals are available as binary inputs
and outputs and can be freely assigned to each physical relay input
or output. At least one channel is required for each direction.
10
Common transmission channels are powerline carrier, microwave radio and ber-optic links. A serial protection data interface for direct connection to a digital communication network or
ber-optic link is available.
11
7SA6 also permits the transfer of phase-selective signals. This

feature is particularly advantageous as it ensures reliable singlepole tripping, if single-pole faults occur on different lines. The
transmission methods are suitable also for lines with three ends
(three-terminal lines). Phase-selective transmission is also possible with multi-end application, if some user-specic linkages
are implemented by way of the integrated CFC logic.
During disturbances in the signaling channel receiver or on the
transmission circuit, the teleprotection function can be blocked
via a binary input signal without losing the zone selectivity.
The control of the overreach zone Z1B (zone extension) can be
switched over to the auto-reclosure function. Transient blocking
(current reversal guard) is provided for all the release and blocking methods in order to suppress interference signals during
tripping of parallel lines.

Under certain conditions on the power

system it is necessary to execute remote
tripping of the circuit-breaker. The 7SA6
relay is equipped with phase-selective
external trip inputs that can be assigned
to the received inter-trip signal for this
purpose.
Weak-infeed protection:
echo and/or trip (ANSI 27 WI)
To prevent delayed tripping of permissive
schemes during weak or zero infeed
situations, an echo function is provided.
If no fault detector is picked up at the
weak-infeed end of the line, the signal
received here is returned as echo to allow
accelerated tripping at the strong infeed
end of the line. It is also possible to initiate phase-selective tripping at the weakinfeed end. A phase-selective single-pole
or three-pole trip is issued if a permissive
trip signal (POTT or Unblocking) is
received and if the phase-ground voltage
drops correspondingly. As an option,
the weak infeed logic can be equipped
according to a French specication.

Overvoltage protection, undervoltage protection (ANSI 59, 27)

A voltage rise can occur on long lines that are operating at noload or that are only lightly loaded. The 7SA6 contains a number
of overvoltage measuring elements. Each measuring element
is of two-stage design. The following measuring elements are
available:
Phase-to-ground overvoltage
Phase-to-phase overvoltage
Zero-sequence overvoltage
The zero-sequence voltage can be connected to the 4th voltage
input or be derived from the phase voltages.
Positive-sequence overvoltage of the local end or calculated
for the remote end of the line (compounding)
Negative-sequence overvoltage
11
12
Tripping by the overvoltage measuring elements can be effected

either at the local circuit-breaker or at the remote station by
means of a transmitted signal.
The 7SA6 is tted, in addition, with three two-stage undervoltage measuring elements:
Phase-to-ground undervoltage
Phase-to-phase undervoltage
13
Positive-sequence undervoltage
14
Frequency protection (ANSI 81O/U)
15
The undervoltage measuring elements can be blocked by means

of a minimum current criterion and by means of binary inputs.
Frequency protection can be used for overfrequency and

underfrequency protection. Unwanted frequency changes in
the network can be detected and the load can be removed at a
specied frequency setting. Frequency protection can be used
Fig. 6/14
Transient ground-fault relay 7SN60
over a wide frequency range (45 to 55, 55 to 65 Hz). There are

four elements (selectable as overfrequency or underfrequency)
and each element can be delayed separately.
Directional ground-fault protection for high-resistance faults
(ANSI 50N, 51N, 67N)
In an grounded network it may happen that the distance
protections sensitivity is not sufcient to detect high-resistance
ground faults. The 7SA6 protection relay therefore offers protection functions for faults of this nature.
The ground-fault protection can be used with three denite-time
stages and one inverse-time stage (IDMT).
Inverse-time characteristics according to IEC 60255-3 and
ANSI/IEEE are provided (see Technical data). A 4th denite-time
stage can be applied instead of the 1st inverse-time stage.
An additional logarithmic inverse-time characteristic is also
available.
The direction decision is determined by the ground current
and the zero-sequence voltage or by the negative-sequence
components V2 and I2. In addition or as an alternative, the direction can be determined with the ground current of an grounded
power transformer and the zero-sequence voltage. Dual
polarization applications can therefore be fullled. Alternatively,
the direction can be determined by evaluation of zero-sequence
power. Each overcurrent stage can be set in forward or reverse
direction or in both directions (non-directional).
The function is equipped with special digital lter algorithms,
providing the elimination of higher harmonics. This feature is
particularly important for small zero-sequence fault currents
which usually have a high content of 3rd and 5th harmonic.

Inrush stabilization and instantaneous switch-onto-fault tripping
can be activated separately for each stage as well.
Determination of the faulted phase by measurement of the

phase-to-ground voltage
Different operating modes can be selected. The ground-fault

protection is suitable for three-phase and, optionally, for singlephase tripping by means of a sophisticated phase selector. It
may be blocked during the dead time of single-pole auto-reclose
cycles or during pickup of the distance protection.
Determination of the ground-fault direction by highly accurate

measurement of the active and reactive power components in
the residual ground fault current.
Tele (pilot) protection for directional ground-fault protection

(ANSI 85-67N)
The directional ground-fault protection can be combined with
the available signaling methods:
Directional comparison
BLOCKING
UNBLOCKING
The transient blocking function (current reversal guard) is also
provided in order to suppress interference signals during tripping
of parallel lines.
The pilot functions for distance protection and for ground-fault
protection can use the same signaling channel or two separate
and redundant channels.
Backup overcurrent protection (ANSI 50, 50N, 51, 51N, 67)
The 7SA6 provides a backup overcurrent protection. Two
denite-time stages and one inverse-time stage (IDMTL) are
available, separately for phase currents and for the ground current. The application can be extended to a directional overcurrent protection (ANSI 67) by taking into account the decision of
the available direction detection elements. Two operating modes
are selectable. The function can run in parallel to the distance
protection or only during failure of the voltage in the VT secondary circuit (emergency operation).
The secondary voltage failure can be detected by the integrated
fuse failure monitor or via a binary input from a VT miniature
circuit-breaker (VT m.c.b. trip).
Inverse-time characteristics according to IEC 60255-3 and ANSI/
IEEE are provided (see Technical data).
Instantaneous high-speed switch-onto-fault overcurrent
protection (ANSI 50HS)
Instantaneous tripping is required when energizing a faulty line.
In the event of large fault currents, the high-speed switch-ontofault overcurrent stage can initiate very fast three-pole tripping.
With smaller fault currents, instantaneous tripping after switchonto-fault is also possible with the overreach distance zone Z1B
or with pickup.
Alarm or trip output can be selected in the event of an groundfault in the forward direction.
Operation measurement of the active and reactive component

in the residual ground current during an ground-fault.
Ground-fault direction detection can also be effected on the

basis of the transient ground-fault principle by interfacing with
the additional unit 7SN60 (see Fig. 6/14). Procedures for logging, time stamping and event recording for the network control
system are standardized by the 7SA6.
Breaker failure protection (ANSI 50BF)

The 7SA6 relay incorporates a two-stage breaker failure
protection to detect failures of tripping command execution,
for example, due to a defective circuit-breaker. The current
detection logic is phase-selective and can therefore also be used
in single-pole tripping schemes. If the fault current is not interrupted after a settable time delay has expired, a retrip command
or a busbar trip command will be generated. The breaker failure
protection can be initiated by all integrated protection functions,
as well as by external devices via binary input signals.
5

7
STUB bus overcurrent protection (ANSI 50(N)-STUB)

The STUB bus overcurrent protection is a separate denite-time
overcurrent stage. It can be activated via a binary input signaling
that the line isolator (disconnector) is open.
Separate settings are available for phase and ground faults.

Auto-recIosure (ANSI 79)
The 7SA6 relay is equipped with an auto-reclosure function (AR).
The function includes several operating modes:
3-pole auto-reclosure for all types of faults; different dead

times are available depending on the type of fault
1-pole auto-reclosure for 1-phase faults, no reclosing for multiphase faults
10
1-pole auto-reclosure for 1-phase faults and for 2-phase faults

without ground, no reclosing for multi-phase faults
1-pole auto-reclosure for 1-phase and 3-pole auto-reclosure for
multi-phase faults
1-pole auto-reclosure for 1-phase faults and 2-phase faults
without ground and 3-pole auto-reclosure for multi-phase
faults
Multiple-shot auto-reclosure
The switch-onto-fault initiation can be detected via the binary

input manual close or automatically via measurement.
Interaction with an external device for auto-reclosure via

binary inputs and outputs
Ground-fault detection in systems with a star-point that is

not effectively grounded
Control of the internal AR function by external protection
In systems with an isolated or resonant grounded (grounded)

star-point, single-phase ground faults can be detected. The
following functions are integrated for this purpose:
Monitoring of the circuit-breaker auxiliary contacts
Detection of an ground fault by monitoring of the displacement voltage
11

Interaction with the internal or an external synchro-check

The 7SA6 relay provides comprehensive supervision functions

covering both hardware and software. Furthermore, the measured values are continuously checked for plausibility. Therefore
the current and voltage transformers are also included in this
supervision system.
If any measured voltage is not present due to short-circuit or
open circuit in the voltage transformer secondary circuit, the
distance protection would respond with an unwanted trip due to
this loss of voltage.
This secondary voltage interruption can be detected by means
of the integrated fuse failure monitor. Immediate blocking of
distance protection and switching to the backup-emergency
overcurrent protection is provided for all types of secondary
voltage failures.

Monitoring of active power
Where two network sections are switched in by control command or following a 3-pole auto-reclosure, it must be ensured
that both network sections are mutually synchronous. For this
purpose a synchro-check function is provided. After verication
of the network synchronism, the function releases the CLOSE
command. Alternatively, reclosing can be enabled for different
criteria, e.g. checking that the busbar or line is not carrying a
voltage (dead line or dead bus).

Monitoring of reactive power
Directional power protection

The 7SA6 has a function for detecting the power direction by
measuring the phase angle of the positive-sequence system's
power. Fig. 6/15 shows an application example displaying negative active power. An indication is issued in the case when the
measured angle (S1) of the positive-sequence system power is
within the P - Q - level sector. This sector is between angles A
and B. Via CFC the output signal of the directional monitoring
can be linked to the "Direct Transfer Trip (DTT)" function and
thus, as reverse power protection, initiate tripping of the CB.
Fig. 6/16 shows another application displaying capacitive
reactive power. In the case of overvoltage being detected due
to long lines under no-load conditions it is possible to select the
lines where capacitive reactive power is measured.
Trip circuit supervision (ANSI 74TC)
One or two binary inputs for each circuit-breaker pole can be
used for monitoring the circuit-breaker trip coils including the
connecting cables. An alarm signal is issued whenever the circuit
is interrupted.
Lockout (ANSI 86)
Under certain operating conditions it is advisable to block CLOSE
commands after a TRIP command of the relay has been issued.
Only a manual RESET command unblocks the CLOSE command.
The 7SA6 is equipped with such an interlocking logic.
Thermal overload protection (ANSI 49)
For thermal protection of cables and transformers an overload
protection with an early-warning stage is provided. The thermal
replica can be generated with the maximum or mean value of
the respective overtemperatures in the three phases, or with the
overtemperature corresponding to the maximum phase current.
The tripping time characteristics are exponential functions
according to IEC 60255-8 and they take account of heat loss due
to the load current and the accompanying drop in temperature
of the cooling medium. The previous load is therefore taken
into account in the tripping time with overload. A settable alarm
stage can output a current or temperature-dependent indication
before the tripping point is reached.

BCD-coded output of fault location
The fault location calculated by the unit

can be output for remote indication in
BCD code. The output of the fault location
is made in percent of the set line length
with 3 decimal digits.
Analog output 0 to 20 mA
Some measured values can be output as
analog values (0 to 20 mA). On a plug-in
module (Fig. 6/24) two analog channels
are made available. Up to two plug-in
modules can be installed in the 7SA6. As
an option, 2, 4 or no analog channels are
available (please refer to the selection
and ordering data). The measured values
available for output are listed in the
technical data.

Special attention has been paid to commissioning. All binary inputs and outputs
can be displayed and activated directly.
This can simplify the wiring check
signicantly for the user. The operational
and fault events and the fault records are
clearly arranged. For applications with
serial protection data interface, all currents, voltages and phases are available
via communication link at each local unit,
displayed at the front of the unit with
DIGSI 4 or with WEB Monitor. A common
time tagging facilitates the comparison of
events and fault records.

standard software tools and at the same
time make use of the Intranet/Internet

infrastructure. Apart from numeric values,
graphical displays in particular provide
clear information and a high degree of operating reliability. Of
course, it is also possible to call up detailed measured value displays and annunciation buffers. By emulation of the integrated

settings for commissioning purposes.

Communication
Communication
With respect to communication, particular emphasis is placed on

the customer requirements in energy automation:
Every data item is time-stamped at the source, i.e. where it
originates.
Already during the process of communication, information is

assigned to the cause thereof (e.g. assignment of the indication circuit-breaker TRIP to the corresponding command).
The communication system automatically handles the transfer

of large data blocks (e.g. fault recordings or parameter data
les). The user has access to these features without any
additional programming effort.
For the safe execution of a control command the corresponding data telegram is initially acknowledged by the unit which
will execute the command. After the release and execution of
the command a feedback signal is generated. At every stage
of the control command execution particular conditions are
checked. If these are not satised, command execution may be
terminated in a controlled manner.

the protocols run, exchange and retrot is possible. Therefore,
the units will also in future allow for optimal adaptation to
changing communication infrastructure such as the application
of Ethernet networks which are already widely applied in the
power supply sector.

Local PC interface
The serial RS232 PC interface accessible from the front of the

unit permits quick access to all parameters and fault event data.
The use of the DIGSI 4 operating program is particularly advantageous during commissioning.
Service/modem interface
10
7SA6 units are always tted with a rear-side hardwired service

interface, optionally as RS232 or RS485. In addition to the
front-side operator interface, a PC can be connected here either
directly or via a modem.
Time synchronization interface
11
The time synchronization interface is a standard feature in all

units. The supported formats are IRIG-B and DCF77.
Reliable bus architecture

14
RS485 bus
With this data transmission via copper conductors, electromagnetic fault inuences are largely eliminated by the use of
twisted-pair conductors. Upon failure of a unit, the remaining
system continues to operate without any problem.
Fiber-optic double ring circuit
The ber-optic double ring circuit is immune to electromagnetic
interference. Upon failure of a section between two units,
the communication system continues to operate without
disturbance. It is usually impossible to communicate with a
unit that has failed. Should a unit fail, there is no effect on the
communication with the rest of the system.

Retrotting: Modules for every type of communication

Communication modules for retrotting are available for the
entire SIPROTEC 4 unit range. These ensure that, where different
communication protocols (IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-103, PROFIBUS,
DNP, etc.) are required, such demands can be met. For ber-optic
communication, no external converter is required for SIPROTEC 4.
IEC 61850 protocol
The Ethernet-based IEC 61850 protocol is the worldwide standard
for protection and control systems used by power supply
corporations. Siemens was the rst manufacturer to support
this standard. By means of this protocol, information can also
be exchanged directly between bay units so as to set up simple
masterless systems for bay and system interlocking. Access to
the units via the Ethernet but is also possible with DIGSI. It is also
possible to retrieve operating and fault records as well as fault
recordings via a browser. This Web monitor will also provide a
few items of unit-specic information in browser windows.

System solutions for protection and station control
Together with the SICAM power automation system, SIPROTEC 4

can be used with PROFIBUS-FMS. Over the low-cost electrical
RS485 bus, or interference-free via the optical double ring,
the units exchange information with the control system. Units
equipped with IEC 60870-5-103 interfaces can be connected
to SICAM in parallel via the RS485 bus or connected in star by
ber-optic link. Through this interface, the system is open for
the connection of units of other manufacturers (see Fig. 6/25).
Because of the standardized interfaces, SIPROTEC units can also

be integrated into systems of other manufacturers or in SIMATIC.
Electrical RS485 or optical interfaces are available. The optimum
physical data transfer medium can be chosen thanks to optoelectrical converters. Thus, the RS485 bus allows low-cost wiring
in the cubicles and an interference-free optical connection to the
master can be established.
3
4
For IEC 61850, an interoperable system solution is offered with

SICAM PAS. Via the 100 Mbits/s Ethernet bus, the units are linked
with PAS electrically or optically to the station PC. The interface
is standardized, thus also enabling direct connection of units
of other manufacturers to the Ethernet bus. With IEC 61850,
however, the units can also be used in other manufacturers
systems. Units with an IEC 60870-5-103 interface are connected
with PAS via the Ethernet station bus by means of serial/Ethernet
converters. DIGSI and the Web monitor can also be used via the
same station bus.

Serial protection data interface

The tele (pilot) protection schemes can be implemented using
digital serial communication. The 7SA6 is capable of remote
relay communication via direct links or multiplexed digital communication networks. The serial protection data interface has
the following features:
Fast phase-selective teleprotection signaling for distance

protection, optionally with POTT or PUTT schemes
Signaling for directional ground-fault protection directional

comparison for high resistance faults in solidly grounded
systems

FO cable length up to 1.5 km for link to communication

FO191): For direct connection up to 100 km3) 1550 nm, for
FO301): For transmission with the IEEE C37.94 standard.
The link to a multiplexed communication network is made by
separate communication converters (7XV5662). These have
a ber-optic interface with 820 nm and ST connectors to the
protection relay. The link to the communication network is
optionally an electrical X21 or a G703.1 interface. If the connection to the multiplexor supports IEEE C37.94, a direct bre optic
connection to the relay is possible using the FO30 module.
For operation via copper wire communication (pilot wires), a
modern communication converter for copper cables is available.
This operates with both the two-wire and three-wire copper connections which were used by conventional differential protection
systems before. The communication converter for copper cables
is designed for 5 kV insulation voltage. An additional 20 kV
isolation transformer can extend the eld of applications of this
technique into ranges with higher insulation voltage requirements. With SIPROTEC 4 and the communication converter
for copper cables a digital follow-up technique is available for
two-wire protection systems (typical 15 km) and all three-wire
protection systems using existing copper communication links.

Clock synchronization: the clock in only one of the relays
must be synchronized from an external so called Absolute
Master when using the serial protection data interface. This
relay will then synchronize the clock of the other (or the two
other relays in 3 terminal applications) via the protection data
interface.
7SA522 and 7SA6 can be combined via the protection data
interface.

Three-terminal lines can also be protected
with a tele (pilot) protection scheme by
using SIPROTEC 4 distance protection
relays. The communication topology may
then be a ring or a chain topology, see
Fig. 6/27. In a ring topology a loss of one
data connection is tolerated by the system.
The topology is re-routed to become a
chain topology within less than 100 ms. To
reduce communication links and to save
money for communications, a chain topology may be generally applied.
